Chocolate-Mint Bars

You’ll love these if you’re a big fan of the thin chocolate mint Girl Scout cookies. The dense base layer is like a rich, fudgy brownie, so don’t overcook it or the dessert bars will be dry. Refrigerating the mint bars allows the chocolaty top layer to set properly. You can make the dessert up to one day ahead.

Yield: 20 servings (serving size: 1 piece)

Ice Cream vs. Cake

posted by elsafan1010

Homemade meme about desserts :)

Hi there! Its Elsafan1010, and today I am comparing two different desserts. Ice cream, and cake. Well lets get into it!

Firstly, I need to say I love both. They're both delicious but I am gonna start with ice cream.

Ice cream is a cold, sweet summer treat. I love it and the fact that it doesn't full the body much when you eat it makes it even more cooler. I don't know why, but I have grown as a "Ice Cream" child. My favorite flavor is vanilla but seriously I [love] Ice cream. I always do. (: Duh, I got emotional :)

Yes, so ıce cream is so cold and creamy and ..just everything at the same time....

posted by deedeeflower

I know it's not really a dessert but it's sweet and you can eat it after dinner if you want.

What You'll Need:

1 1/2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 pinch salt (optional)
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda

Step by Step:

Grease a baking sheet, and set aside.
In a glass bowl, combine peanuts, sugar, corn syrup, and salt.
Cook in microwave for 6 to 7 minutes on high (On 700 Watt--adjust for your microwave as necessary); mixture should be bubbly and peanuts browned.
Stir in butter and vanilla; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer.
Quickly stir in baking soda, just until mixture is foamy.
Pour immediately onto greased baking sheet.
Let cool 15 minutes, or until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.
